Edit Objects
You can freely edit any selected object(s) by the related commands.
Note: For copying/cutting and pasting an object, after you copy/cut an object, make sure
that the related editing command (Home/Edit > Edit Object >
All/Text/Image/Shape/Shading) has been selected before you paste it. Sometimes you
may not paste an object right after copying it and do other tasks with other commands, or
you need to paste it in another document where the editing command is not being selected.
In these cases, you need to select the related editing command again before pasting the
object.
Edit Text Objects
To edit text objects, click Home/Edit > Edit Object > Text. And click on the text you
want to edit. A selected object usually is outlined by a bounding box. Double-click the
box or choose Edit in the context menu. Then the cursor will be blinking, and you can
add, paste or replace text only if the font used for that text is installed on your system.
More editing information, please refer to Add New Text Objects.
